too bad bosh's reign didn't end with rob babcock. the greatest impediment to this team's growth was signing bosh to that extension and inhibiting the growth of our roster while trying to 'build' around a false franchise player

let the bargs era begin!

And Barg's, not being a true center, was a major problem of that not to mention his constant coddling(Bosh got a friend- Jack, so Barg's needs a friend-Belli) and unaccountability under Jay 'I like the effort" Triano & BC.

Bargs can score 20 points and grab 8 rebounds a game, I don't think there is anyone that can argue that. He scored close to 18 a game this past season and he has shown that he can rebound when he wants to. For people to say that he should be the 4th option I say why do you want to take away the one thing he is good at? Bargs can score, from anywhere. Sure his post game is limited, but how many people in the league can shoot the three, fade from midrange, drive from the three point line, and then bump inside for a jump hook. Where his game is week is on help D and on the glass, but you want him to be on the floor and not be our scorer? I mean, how does that make any sense.

Also, no one thinks Bargs is Dirk two, they have very different games. Dirk is a much better high post player than Bargs but doesn't have the speed or first step that Bargs has.

bosh just tweeted: 'thanks for all the support Mess! ps, u left ur panties at my condo!'

Haha nice. What kind of stupid thread is this anyways? First off, there are only like 2 other big men in the league who can play like Bargs (Dirk and Danilo). He has a special type of talent that is next to impossible to find. If you don't see this, I heard there's a 5:45 bandwagon heading to Miami.

Funny how you knock people as being on Bosh's jock but yet you gargle with Bargnani in your mouth.lol

You go to the trouble of photoshopping or editing pictures of your father chopping off the head of Bosh yet rally against those that gave Bosh any kind of well deserved recognition for his actual play on the court. Hilarious if I do say so myself.

I think you are wayyyyyyy more Rupaul than Chris Bosh or even Multi'paul' for that matter. This actually makes sense when I think about it some more cause you both have the 'paul' moniker and multi could definitely refer to your multiple identities. You're also like a dellusional pseduo-woman unaware of her dream world and yet still trying hard to make your imagination reality, in the real world.

You're right to a certain extent. To be more clear however outside of his special 'shooting' talent, the rest of his talent is impossible to find.

Dear Raptors Republic Moderators,

Is this considered acceptable on your board? Belittling and insulting someone on a personal level who is a member of the board (not a Ratpors player) seems like it would contravene the general principles and good nature of this website.

This guy is clearly a racist, sexist, misogynist, masochist who is using this site to lash out and personally terrorize members who disagree with his posts.

Ya man, some people just don't get it. I don't remember too many guys getting better while playing alongside Bosh. Now that Bargs is finally getting his chance, with a team that compliments each other more, less media attention on one guy, you will see an allstar season from him, and a huge development in other guys.

You're right to a certain extent. To be more clear however outside of his special 'shooting' talent, the rest of his talent is impossible to find.

Are you kidding, why are you so stubborn when talking about Bargs? You cleary have a huge chub for Bosh, but why? Bargs is faster, shoots better, and IS going to be better on defence. I can't believe you support a guy who demands so much media attention either. I see your more inept to glitz and glamour rather then reality.

I skimmed through some of the retardedly funny replies and this is what I have to say:

- Bargs is our first option by default, because most other guys on the team are even worse or haven't been in the league long enough to be the real first option. This isn't some great accomplishment and it certainly isn't a reflection of Bargnani's game that he's the Raptors first option. Sure he's got the talent but 4 years in and just when you think he's breaking out of his shell he goes back in. I'd understand if he was drafted straight out of high school as a complete work-in-progress but this is NOT the case. Maybe I'm expecting too much from the NUMBER 1 PICK but Bargnani has only ever given us a flash brilliance (and I really do mean brilliance, because sometimes I sat that in complete disbelief) on a handful of PLAYS. When he shows brilliance for a WHOLE GAME then maybe I'll bust out my Bargnani Pom Poms and Kilt and join the rest of you Bargs Lovers (especially MultiPaul. Shit dude...are you on Bargnani's payroll or something?)

- Whoever said Bargs is a lock for representing us in the All-Star game: LMAO!

Believe me when I say that I would love to put my foot in my mouth at the end of next season and be proven completely wrong but I just don't see it. With all the talent this guy has (and he truly has lots), I've yet to see any real heart or desire to win and that's his main problem. When you have guys like Jack or Weems stepping up when they're needed, where the hell is our number 1 pick and future franchise player??? And on top of that how does he go from getting 17 rebounds one game and only 3 the next? Inexcusable.
